			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>San Francisco is a city with a truly unique blend of older and more modern influences, and it&rsquo;s a top travel destination for so many visitors every year.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>California has been a multi-cultural and multi-lingual territory and state throughout its history.  It goes without saying that within the state of California, one can find an abundance of translation professionals who are proficient in nearly any language and subject.</p>
<p>There are many reasons why San Francisco is home to people from many nationalities.  As a large port of entry, the city has attracted a great deal of businesses that are involved in international trade and commerce.   With an intercontinental personality, the city demonstrates characteristics of nearly every society in the world including Hispanic, Korean and Chinese.  Unlike other cities, San Francisco has quarters that focus on Italians, Koreans, Italians, Chinese and Hispanics.  San Francisco Chinatown is the largest Chinese community on the West Coast, and the second largest in the United States next to New York City&#8217;s settlement.  It was completely destroyed in the fire of 1906, and its inhabitants moved temporarily across the bay to Oakland, but by 1910 the quarter had been practically rebuilt in an improved manner, yet retaining its markedly Asian characteristics.  When the new Chinatown was built it was considerably more cleaner and was greeted with open arms by the community.  The &#8220;New&#8221; Chinatown, rebuilt in a distinctive Oriental style began to attract tourism and business such as San <a href="http://www.themarketinganalysts.com/en/pages/san-francisco-translation-leader-san-francisco-translation-service-english-spanish-french-german-russian-portuguese-japanese-korean-chinese-san-francisco-california/" target='_blank'>San Francisco Translation Services</a> that helped improve San Francisco&#8217;s economy.</p>
<p>San Francisco isn&#8217;t the only city in Northern California that offers great cultural events and fun times.  When visitors take a short drive from San Francisco, they can visit another international city of San Jose that features nice weather, ethnic diversity and more fun and excitement.  San Jose was founded in 1997 and today represents one of the largest concentrations of technology expertise in the world which employees nearly 254,000 people.   Throughout the Spanish-Mexican period, San Jose was a place of considerable importance.  The number of people living there grew to 750 in the year 1840.  Historians are quick to point out that even during San Jose&#8217;s early days the area had a unique Hispanic culture.  As Mexican authority across California came to an end, San Jose remained one of the strongest posts that was established during those times and it remained strong for years to come.  Although Mexico lost California and the Mexican soldiers retreated back into Mexico, that didn&rsquo;t stop the settlement of San Jose from growing and prospering into the major U.S. city that it is today.  This was partly due to the success of <a href="http://www.themarketinganalysts.com/en/pages/san-jose-translation-leader-san-jose-translation-service-english-spanish-french-german-russian-portuguese-japanese-korean-chinese-san-jose-california/" target='_blank'>San Jose Translator</a>.  Eleven years after the San Jose area came under the defense of the United States army, the local natives tribes began to combat the locals.  Four years after the first American forces occupied San Jose, the area became an official California city and the state&#8217;s capital.</p>
<p>Unlike San Francisco and San Jose, San Diego is a metropolitan area located in southern California.  About 4 miles north of the business center of San Diego is the site of the first Spanish settlement in what is now California.  Through numerous occupations and change of hands combined with its relative proximity to Mexico meant that it was an important language center.  Indeed, <a href="http://www.themarketinganalysts.com/en/pages/san-diego-translation-leader-san-diego-translation-service-english-spanish-french-german-russian-portuguese-japanese-korean-chinese-san-diego-california/" target='_blank'>San Diego Translation Services</a> service has grown and moved with the city.  Over time, the number of people living in the community decreased.  The location of the new city remains the location of San Diego as it is known today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The western most continental state of California has always been occupied by diverse populations, races and languages.  It goes without saying that within the state of California, one can find an abundance of translation professionals who are proficient in nearly any language and subject.</p>
<p>There are many reasons why San Francisco is home to people from many nationalities.  As a large port of entry, the city has attracted a great deal of businesses that are involved in international trade and commerce.   With an intercontinental personality, the city demonstrates characteristics of nearly every society in the world including Hispanic, Korean and Chinese.  There is also a Little Italy and a Chinese quarter of which no other city has the like.  San Francisco Chinatown is the largest Chinese community on the West Coast, and the second largest in the United States next to New York City&#8217;s settlement.  The earthquake of 1906 had destroyed nearly all birth records in the city and allowed Chinese-born men to claim that they were American citizens.  Consequently, they made the legal claim that to bring their families to America.  Because Chinatown was rebuilt to be safer, cleaner and better than it was before, they general population of San Francisco was happy.  In addition, the new Chinatown became a center for <a href="http://www.themarketinganalysts.com/en/pages/san-francisco-translation-leader-san-francisco-translation-service-english-spanish-french-german-russian-portuguese-japanese-korean-chinese-san-francisco-california/" target='_blank'>San Francisco Translation Services</a>, as the city hosted two official Chinese newspapers and countless other foreign language media outlets.</p>
<p>Similar to San Francisco, there are a large number of international events, recreational opportunities and entertainment venues to occupy your time in San Jose.  When visitors take a short drive from San Francisco, they can visit another international city of San Jose that features nice weather, ethnic diversity and more fun and excitement.  As it turned out, San Jos&eacute; became California&#8217;s first civilian settlement in 1797 and was the site of the first state capital of California.  With a population of over 1-million people, San Jos&eacute; is the third largest city in California and is the 10th largest city in the U.S.  The number of people living there grew to 750 in the year 1840.  Since its founding, San Jose has had a strong Spanish language influence.  In the last years of Mexican dominion it was the most prominent of the northern settlements in which the Hispano-Californian element predominated over the new American element.  While the United States seized control of Mexico, the small but growing community of <a href="http://www.themarketinganalysts.com/en/pages/san-jose-translation-leader-san-jose-translation-service-english-spanish-french-german-russian-portuguese-japanese-korean-chinese-san-jose-california/" target='_blank'>San Jose Translation</a> continued to prosper.  While San Jose was under the protection of the United States forces, it was attacked by the Indians in the region only 11 years later.  Four years after the first American forces occupied San Jose, the area became an official California city and the state&#8217;s capital.</p>
<p>While San Jose and San Francisco are both located in the north quarter or California, we will also spend some time discussing San Diego which is in the Southern section.  About 4 miles north of the business center of San Diego is the site of the first Spanish settlement in what is now California.  This area was always multilingual because of its closeness to Mexico and the fact that it changed hands numerous times.  It can be said that as a result, the <a href="http://www.themarketinganalysts.com/en/pages/san-diego-translation-leader-san-diego-translation-service-english-spanish-french-german-russian-portuguese-japanese-korean-chinese-san-diego-california/" target='_blank'>San Diego Translation Services</a> that are located here grew and prospered.  In the late 1800&#8217;s a new community was developed that was located just a few miles away.  Today, this new section that was build in the late 1800&#8217;s is known as San Diego.</p>
